Very nice, easy recipe - I used 3/4C dry breadcrumbs as I had no fresh, nor did I have any zucchini. Added some parsley & served with gravy. Husband loved it & the leftovers were delicious the next day!

didn't have any zucchini but added garlic, caramalised onion (instead of fresh), fresh continental parsley and used pumpkin bread to make the bread crumbs - so yum and so easy

Really enjoyed the taste of the meatloaf, however, it was a little on the dry side and fell apart when I was trying to cut it. Hubby was looking for more, and my 3 year old ate all his up.

This is a great meatloaf recipe. I replaced the beef mince with 1/2 veal an 1/2 pork mince, which worked well. Using the pork mince you could probably cut out the bacon. Enjoy!
